The Truth Behind 99 Cents Stores:
Have you ever wondered why 99 cent stores exist?!? I used to think it had something to do with over-stocked items, and being the Mecca of plastic toys. Do you really think they make a living off re-selling plastic forks? The real reason 99 cent stores are in existence is to rip-off the lower class citizens. Get this, most of the stores have DEALS with larger companies... See, Stores like Learner New York exist to suck up large bills that are "floating" around in people's pockets.... But after a sweater gets bought at a store like that, the customer must down-size to a partner store that caters to the middle class such as Walmart because they can't afford a $200 sweater. At Walmart a customer can buy larger amounts of goods... Yet they still walk out of the store with pocket change and small bills. Now the 99 cent stores take advantage of these poor individuals and squeeze them dry of any worthwhile pennies they carry. Thus the person goes home with a bunch of useless junk, and not enough money to support their family. It is the alliance of the commercial corporations with 99 cent stores that produces poor and homeless families. Sound strange? Yeah, just wait until they open up a Penny-or-Less store.
